What speed must an electron have if its momentum is to be the same as that of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 0.30?

The momentum of the x-ray photon is p = h/lambda . Lambda is the wavelength (0.30nm=3x10^(-9)m) and h is Planck's constant,(h=6.62607004 × 10-34<span> m2 kg / s).The momentum is: 2.2 x 10^(-25).</span>

The momentum can be calculated also as: p=mv, where m is the mass of the electron and v is the speed.

So v=p/m,p is known,and also the mass of the electron (m=9.10938356 × 10-31<span> kilograms).</span>

v=2.2 x 10^(-25)/9.10938356 × 10-31<span> kilograms=0.24 x 10^6 m/s</span>

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules

Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotropically at 3.2 MW. What is the intensity of
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

I=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2

Explanation:

The intensity is related to the power and surface area by I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}. We need to calculate the surface area of a sphere of radius r=4.3ly.

Since 4.3ly is the distance light travels in 4.3 years at 299792458m/s, we can obtain it in meters by doing:

r=vt=(299792458m/s)(4.3\times365\times24\times60\times60s)=4.1\times10^{16}m

So we have:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}=\frac{3.2\times10^6W}{4\pi (4.1\times10^{16}m)^2}=1.5\times10^{-28}W/m^2

kristine speeds past a parked police car at 32 m/s. The police car starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2.5 m/s^2. Ho
Digiron [165]

32 = 0 \times t +  \frac{1}{2} \times 2.5 \times t^{2}     \\  32 = 0 + 1.25 \times t {}^{2}  \\ 32 = 1.25t {}^{2}   \\   \frac{32}{1.25}  =  \frac{1.25t {}^{2} }{1.25}  \\ t {}^{2}  = 25.6 \\  \sqrt{t {}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{25.6}  \\ t = 5.1seconds \\
